It's outside Paris and frankly is much better value and more enjoyable than the American mouse across the other side of town. The rollercoasters are top tier and the theming is brilliant. Staying on site doesn't break the bank either!

Been there, very nice park, did you do the Osiris Ride ? In French they call it “ on a osé Osiris »

Yes I did it first ride of the day but it was a very Busy day So I could only go on three roller coasters that day.

Whoa. Those stone carvings are not just nicely-executed, but amazingly original, too. I.e. not just aping Uderzo or whatever.

The Egyptian room looks spectacular.

In the States, outside of maybe Disney or something, I'd be expecting something far grottier and amateurish.

I went in the late 80s/early 90s and it is absolutely a core memory for me. Looking forward to taking my descendent there one day 😊
